Qiao Xuejun: "Before planting, we have to cover the crops with a layer of mulch, which is the plastic film commonly seen in the fields."
Kuang Qianli looked at her and asked in confusion: "You didn't use that film before, did you?"
Qiao Xuejun: "It was not useful before. Didn't you notice? Our shelter is starting to get hot. If it's too hot, you can turn on the air conditioner. However, the air becomes dry."
She squatted down and reached out to pinch a handful of soil. This was sandy soil that was very suitable for potatoes. When she first planted the first crop, she could pinch the soil and it would stay together. But now it is much drier, and the soil is a little condensed and hard, and it falls apart when you pinch it: "The humidity is not enough."
Kuang Qianli: "Isn't it enough to just water it?"
Qiao Xuejun shook her head: "It's hard to control the amount of water and the temperature just by watering. It may reduce the yield, which is not worth the loss."
Kuang Qianli: "Do you have that mulch in your warehouse?"
Qiao Xuejun nodded: "Yes, but only 2 acres of land."
Mulch film is a common equipment in farming, so she was prepared. But she was only given one mu of land at the beginning, and she didn't have much money, so she only bought 2 mu of land at the beginning, and the extra land was considered replacement.
Kuang Qianli's face also turned serious: "What should we do then?"
Qiao Xuejun: "I plan to go to the farm implement store in town to see if I can buy some."
The other three immediately looked at Qiao Xuejun with surprised expressions.
The carpenter was a little anxious: "But didn't I say that there are rebels in the town, but they haven't reached us yet!"
Qiao Xuejun: "I will be careful."
Of course she knew that she had money and could buy whatever she could, but she also had the psychological expectation that if there was really a war in the town, those stores would probably not be able to open, and the rebels might even carry out looting. However, the farm tool store would not be the target of robbery at this time. After all, the weather was hot and it was not suitable for growing crops.
No one has any idea.
Therefore, if the farm implement store is closed and you can’t buy it with money…there will be a way to deal with it when the time comes.
The carpenter continued to ask carefully: "Then let it reduce the yield. Anyway, there are ten acres of land. Even if the yield is reduced, there will definitely be a lot of potatoes that we can't eat all of them."
Qiao Xuejun: “No.”
After all, there are still unknown mutant creatures coming to attack from behind. If the production is reduced, it will not be enough to upgrade the shelter.
Wang Juanfeng thought about it and immediately said, "Then I'll go with you. I'll have someone to look after me. It's a good opportunity to see what's going on in the town."
Kuang Qianli: "Then I'll come too!"
Wang Juanfeng frowned: "Kuang Shen, you can't do this. You have to stay with the little carpenter to guard the house. Have you forgotten that there are people around who are eyeing us covetously?"
"And that car can only seat two people."
With Kuang Qianli's motorcycle, they could ride to town. A one-hour journey only took ten minutes.
Kuang Qianli: "Then I'll go, you stay."
Qiao Xuejun said: "No, she and the carpenter have no attack power. Don't you know how to shoot arrows? You stay."
Kuang Qianli did know how to do it. He asked Qiao Xuejun, "But you're not going to take the bow with you?"
Qiao Xuejun shook her head: "Do you know how heavy the plastic film is for 10 acres of land?"
Without waiting for Kuang Qianli to answer, she said, "One acre of land is 6 kilograms. Even if I only buy 8 acres of land, there will be nearly 100 kilograms. It's hard to say whether I can bring it back safely, let alone bring a bow and a person."
She looked at Wang Juanfeng and said, "You can't go either. Stay and guard the house."
Wang Juanfeng thought about it and decided that if they wanted to bring the ground film, Kuang Qianli’s motorcycle would not be able to accommodate anyone, so he had to agree.
Qiao Xuejun: "If someone comes, do you know what to do?"
Kuang Qianli: "Don't worry, I know."
·
It was 3 a.m., the night was getting darker, and I couldn't see anything around me. The street lights were not on, and only the moon was emitting a faint glow. Qiao Xuejun rode his motorcycle towards the town.
She was wearing a dark outer garment that blended in with the darkness and was not easily discovered.
The clothes were bought at an outdoor store. The main feature of the clothes is that they have many pockets, which makes them convenient for storing things, but the size is neat and fits well, making them suitable for outdoor activities.
Before going out, she filled her pockets with mugwort to prevent mad cow disease patients from approaching.
Two months ago, Qiao Xuejun went to the city to buy supplies from this road. He went in and out several times. He could see some stalls set up by small vendors on the road. Even if they were closing their stalls, they would cover the stalls with plastic tarpaulins. They would just remove the tarpaulins the next day and continue setting up their stalls.
But now there is nothing on this road, no signs of stalls.
It must have been a long time since anyone came out to set up a stall.
It takes an hour to get to the city, but you don't need to go to the farm tool store in the city to buy mulch. This simple material can be found in the farm tool store in the town. Qiao Xuejun is unfamiliar with the place, but she has a map given by the system.
It only takes 10 minutes by motorcycle, so it’s not very far and the road is easy.
But when Qiao Xuejun drove to the central intersection near the town's bustling area, a long red and yellow roadblock appeared at the entrance to the intersection, directly blocking the road and making it impossible for vehicles to enter, not even motorcycles.
Moreover, this standard is a military roadblock machine, which should be made of steel and connected in a row. It is specifically designed to prevent vehicles from entering, but people can climb in.
Qiao Xuejun went forward and tried to push one of the roadblocks away, but found that it was impossible to move it at all.
never mind.
She acted decisively, parked the motorcycle on the side of the road, pulled out the key, looked around, and found nothing unusual. She then took out the woven bag of potatoes from the trunk of the motorcycle, climbed over the roadblock herself, and headed towards the farm tool store shown on the system map.
She pulled the slingshot from her little leather pouch, gripped it tightly, and stepped forward, moving quickly but not running.
